Ever since he first rocked up in his newfound dad Nick's life six years ago, we've loved the precocious young scamp's quirky personality, passion for science and astronomy and knack for making even the most hardened of Weatherfield criminals go soft around the edges.

President Trump will address the nation tonight at 9 PM with an update on the war in Iran. The President is also attending the Supreme Court hearing on Birthright Citizenship.

Mark interviews John Carney, editor of Breitbart Business News. John believes President Trump will announce tonight at 9 PM that the war in Iran is coming to an end. With the U.S. producing its own oil, the country may be able to sustain itself without relying on allies - but is that the right move?

LaGuardia Airport in New York remains closed until further notice after two pilots were killed and 41 passengers were injured when an Air Canada plane struck a fire truck on the tarmac. ICE agents are reportedly being deployed to TSA checkpoints at airports to assist with security screening, including identifying illegal immigrants. President Trump announced that productive talks with Tehran's government have taken place over the past day, sparking a rally on Wall Street and a sharp drop in oil prices. Mark interviews New York Post journalist Michael Goodwin. Michael argues that Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman will need support from Zohran Mamdani's base to have a viable path to the governor's seat and breaks down the logic behind that strategy. Democratic politicians have pushed back on President Trump's decision to send ICE agents to airports, warning it could create additional chaos and disruption. Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut has been particularly vocal in his opposition, calling the move a political play by Republicans and the Trump administration. President Trump posted a controversial tweet following the passing of former FBI Director Robert Mueller, who led the Russia-Trump campaign investigation, at the age of 81. A new Christopher Columbus statue was unveiled near the White House, in part using remnants of a previously removed statue. Zohran Mamdani's wife, Rama Duwaji, is facing increased scrutiny over her artwork and social media activity, which has drawn criticism amid concerns over anti-Israel sentiment. Mark interviews Republican candidate for NY Governor Bruce Blakeman. The key to bringing people back to New York is cutting taxes - not raising them. Both Zohran Mamdani and Governor Kathy Hochul are pushing for higher taxes in the state. Viewers are cautioned to approach current polling with skepticism, as much of it is being conducted by far-left-leaning colleges and universities. Governor Hochul has come under fire for spending a significant amount of taxpayer money on illegal immigrants. The question is now being raised: could a debate between Blakeman and Hochul be on the horizon? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
